Title
Myst is an adventure, logic puzzle, fantasy game where you are transported to a lone island. If you accept the limited premise and explore your surroundings you will find a note in the immediate vicinity that leads you to uncover a message recorded by one of the island's tenants. The message, which is not intended for you but for someone else, indicates you have stumbled into the middle of a crisis. Yet, despite the intensity of the message, the island is eerily devoid of life. The emptiness of the island, and the tense message combine to from an air of mystery that sets the tone for the rest of the game.

Unfortunately, the game has aged rather poorly. The graphics can not hold a candle to Riven: The Sequel to Myst, Myst's successor, and Real Myst is an all-around better version of this game.

    Selenitic age is beautiful and probably the best looking age but that fucking underground tunnel puzzle made me pull out my hair. Sucks because the first puzzle is the best one in the game

    As someone who loves many unconventional gaming experiences that other players hate, like Shenmue, for example, I want to love this and admire it for its artistic originality. But I can't shake the perception that it's boring, dull, time-consuming, unrewarding, and needlessly difficult. Maybe I'm too dumb to appreciate it, but I don't enjoy it atmospherically, I don't like any of the puzzles, and it's just frustrating and unpleasant.
